Serene Silhouettes Stamp-a-Stack – Stampin’ Up!

On Friday, I shared an elegant card featuring the Serene Silhouettes stamp set (wood mountand clear mount) from Stampin’ Up! I liked the card so much, that I decided to create a stamp-a-stack collection around it. If you live in the Atlanta area and would be interested in making this gorgeous card set , please contact me to sign up for my Stamp-a-Stack class on Saturday, May 3rd from 7:00-9:00 p.m. We will create this set and another one (I’ll post about that one soon). The cost of the class is $15 and includes all consumable materials, use of my stamping supplies, and I will do all the prep work… you can’t beat that! I would love to connect with some of you face to face for an opportunity to truly create together!

All of the cards in this set were inspired by the Splitcoast Stampers CAS266card challenge, which was to create a clean and simple card using three of the following colors:

I maintained the same design elements for all four cards of this set. For details about the techniques used in this project, please click here. Below, you will find card recipes for the specific supplies and dimensions for each card.

Morning Meadow… “Hello” (Card #2)

I used Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #130 for my inspiration for card #2 of my stamp-a-stack set. This set was created using the Morning Meadow stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) which is available as one the hostess rewards from Stampin’ Up!

Serene Silhouettes Just for You (Card #3)

Mojo Monday sketch challenge 339, provided the inspiration for card #3. I like the variety provided by the tall and skinny design. This card was created using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set (wood mountand clear mount), and A Round Array for the sentiment (wood mount and clear mount).

Serene Silhouettes Thank You (Card #4)

The Paper Craft Crew, sketch challenge #87, provided the inspiration for card #4. I like the variety provided by the tall and skinny design. This card was created using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set (wood mountand clear mount), Petite Petals (wood mount and clear mount) and Teeny Tiny Wishesfor the sentiment (wood mountand clear mount).

Oh my gosh, I love this “stack”! The color combinations are gorgeous, and I love the silhouette embossing and perfect sponging. The details are beautiful, too. Really great eye candy! Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Thanks for sharing, these are beautiful. You are welcome to come to California! Did you ink your embossing folder with the soft sky or the marine mist then embossed with the fancy fans folder? I noticed that some of the backgrounds have the “white” fan design verses just the embossed paper. Regina Matthews (rmatt00@yahoo.com)

Regina, thanks for your questions. I dry embossed the soft sky panel with the fancy fan embossing folder. I did not ink them though. I think what you are referring to is the Marina Mist Designer Series Paper from the Subtles DSP Paper Stack. It has a white pattern that is very similar to the fancy fan embossing folder, but on a smaller scale. Let me know if that isn’t what you are referring to, and I will be happy to try to answer your question.

Hi Heather, yes you answered my question regarding the Marine Mist (or Soft Sky) DSP. I just did not read as carefully your “ingredients” list. Since I did not have either, I made do with smooth white and inking the embossing folder like one would do with a letter press and ran the paper through for a “home-made” DSP. The sizing of the pattern is larger than the DSP, but it still came out quite lovely. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas and color combinations.

Heather, these are beautiful, absolutely beautiful. My ladies would love to do something like these. I would love to teach these, with your permission and of course with credit to you. (I am also a demonstrator)

Hi, blue has never been a favourite craft colour for me but after seeing these cards on Pinterest I am converted. They are so calm and beautiful. I wish I lived closer, but if you ever come to Sydney please put my name on your list.

Being that blue is my absolute favorite color, I could not have loved this series any more! There is nothing left to be desired. Each card is just absolutely stunning-attention-grabbing, yet calming, and serene. I am learning so much from your posts and from your examples. Thank you for being so generous with your time and with your abundant talents! J
